elgoyoloco Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Finally time port my engine, but I'm running FMF SST pipes. I heard they don't perform well with porting. Has anybody run this configuration? Or should i pick up some T-5's? Quote
erickson483 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 It's a general consensus that sst's aren't good for port work. I emailed Kevin at hjr and he recommended some t5's, pro circuits, or even fattys for my mx hardcore port. Ask the builder who's going to do your port job. That's your best bet for sure. They'll put you on the right path Quote
Scooter350 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Damn i just bought a cheap good lookin set of sst pipes and wanting to port it. Quote

I was talking to Radar and i believe he has a friend that dyno'd his at75hp on SSTs. Quote
Scooter350 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 No shit that makes me feel better lol. Thanks for the tip. Quote
sprinklerman Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 no problem man. Its not the most common setup,but its DOES work,and work good on an "all 'round" kind of bike. Id PM CamAtv or Radar. Quote
Scooter350 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Thats what i want is a all around. I already pm'd CamAtv, thanks. Quote
sprinklerman Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Thats what i want is a all around. I already pm'd CamAtv, thanks. Good. If memory serves, i THINK Radar said that he and CamAtv were at that dyno session together ( at Gigots shop) ,,its been a few years ago. Thats when the bike was dyno'd with SSTs and made 70-75 hp?? I cant remember,,but i DO remember him saying it made good power ( somewhere in that range). The reason i vaguely remember that is that I had a set of SSTs and was setting up the motor for them,so i was gathering info for myself. Quote
Scooter350 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Sweet that works for me. What do you run now? Quote
sprinklerman Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 421 Serval with CPI and a 465 with Shearer. Both inframes. And a 350 with PC. Quote
Scooter350 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Nvm i just changed over to the full version... Quote
Scooter350 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Thats what i really want is to start settin parts aside for a serval. Would that be the most reliable/quickest setup? Quote
